World Cup 2014 in pictures: The football goal posts of Brazil

In Brazil, football goal posts can be found almost anywhere, from slums to sandy beaches. But the FIFA Laws of the Game specify the length between the goal posts is 8 yards (7.32m); the lower edge of the crossbar should be 8 ft. (2.44m) from the ground; and the posts themselves should be 5 inches (12cm) or smaller. But all sorts of other goals are used by amateur players, who can employ anything from scraps of wood nailed together, to rusting pieces of metal to play a game of football.Picture: REUTERS/Pilar Olivares
